State of West Virginia
Abstract
West Virginia University is seeking Economic Adjustment Assistance under CFDA 12.617 to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the defense supply chain in our State and to suggest, develop, and implement any modifications, interventions, or supports which may be required to diversify the businesses that are defense dependent. These activities will be developed, piloted, and widely shared with the defense manufacturing community as a key initiative of this effort. The overarching goals and outcomes of the work associated with this proposal are: ? To create the information and linkages with resources that will serve defense manufacturers and our communities in limiting the impact of defense-related spending cuts and identify new opportunities for economic diversification. The State expects this effort and its resulting deliverables to inform, strengthen, and support local adjustment and diversification initiatives. ? To stimulate better cooperation between regional, statewide, and local diversification efforts to significantly improve the defense manufacturing effort as an economic sector.
